What was the price for Civilization II !?

You can't buy games at Abandonia.

Did you use the "Make a donation" button (from another non-protected game page), which is for donations only?

There isn't a download for Civilization II because it's still protected by ESA (Entertainment Software Association) and we don't want copyrights problems.

The price for Civ II is $14.95 on Direct2Drive.

This is the 1999 re-release version with add-ons. D2D is pretty good for finding some older games that are still for sale (cheap). And you download them direct to your hard drive.

It would probably be more helpful if you asked Direct2Drive for help.

Here's their support page.

All that we have downloadable is free.
If something is not downloadable, it's for very specific reasons and whether you donate or not will not make one jot of a difference.

You paid somebody through PayPal for Civilization II. To whom did you send the money?

You and the web page stock wanted to download the game? Who is this 'web page stock'?

This situation remembers me about AB's leechers...

Yes, I remember once reading a thread about how illegal sites are simply cover fronts which ask for money for access to direct download we offer for free on the site. Not only do they ask money for something which is free, but they also leech our bandwith without giving us credit and without the abused person ever seeing the review and the site.

That would be dire news indeed.
